NIZAMABAD: Tension prevailed near Issapalli village in Armoor mandal in Nizamabad district on Tuesday after TRS activists attacked the vehicle in which Nizamabad BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri was travelling. The TRS activists damaged the windscreens of the MP's vehicle.
When the BJP MP planned to tour in Armoor town and surrounding areas, the district police advised him to change the route plan as the ruling TRS activists had decided to obstruct his tour. Refusing the suggestion of the police, the MP staged a dharna on the road for about two hours in Armoor. After a two-hour-long protest along with followers, Dharmapuri proceeded to the villages as per his plan. While he was nearing Issapalli village, TRS activists attacked his vehicle from the back.
